Olamide, the Nigerian music sensation, has got social media buzzing with his recent food confession.
In an interview with Korty EO on YouTube, Olamide confessed he’s not a big fan of food but has a weakness for broccoli. He also enjoys sea bass fish, lamb chops and caviar, describing them as “light stuff”. “I’m not a big fan of food,” he said, “but I can kill for broccoli.”
The rapper explained that he used to enjoy traditional Nigerian dishes like Amala but no longer eats them due to the discomfort they cause.
“Those things, man… Man’s gonna be like bloated all day. All because I want to chop? Nah. I need to be comfortable,” he said.
This recent food confession has generated different reactions from fans of the singer, here are reactions complied by eelive.ng:
@brtu0_1, reacted saying: “Broccoli? Don’t worry, if he ever feels hungry properly, he’ll have some amala lol.”
@Olatu125, reacting questioned: “Is Amala heavy?”
@Iam_Adejola wrote, “Well, good to eat healthy, but carbs are needed also, especially for ladies, otherwise every month you’ll be treating iron deficiency anaemia and low sugar deficiency.”
@ashabimajek wrote: “Most people don’t know broccoli is one of the best vegetables. It helps prevent cancer.”
@shakar_el said: “Health is wealth, but omo I can’t skip amala. Bring all the steak, salmon, and mashed potatoes, but abeg, I still need some amala and pounded yams sometimes.”
@daddyzojie kept it simple: “Health is more important than tribal foods, so I support him.”
Meanwhile, @bigyaadbond offered a sceptical take, saying, “Broccoli is not a naturally occurring food. It’s not as healthy as the natural ewedu. Don’t let the white man fool you; stick to your roots. That’s where your superpower is.”
